My city's on Fire!

12th may '07.

Gun fires, bloodshed, fire, dead bodies and clashes. The city of Karachi. It seems as if it necessary to associate all these words with this city of lights. It has been so since the '80s. I still remember in 1995, there used to be a strike every Friday and torching of buses was everyday routine. The gunfires stopped scaring the children, they knew it was time to hide, lay low and no school, no exams and no homeworks for many days to come!

Today, we saw how responsible our city and our country's government is. Where were Rangers or the Police forces when the clashes were taking place?! Where were the saviours when the city was being torn into pieces?!

So, no security for the common people of Karachi and bullet proof, well secured places for President Musharraf for holding his address! Hypocrisy!
